KEY:
BLUE areas are where the bulk of the party's events will be located! As you can see, the festivities will be taking place largely outdoors, and the grounds will reflect that; there'll be the usual decorations of pretty floral arrangements, little lights, things like that. Think upscale garden party! There'll also be a ballroom indoors for more traditionally fancy red-carpet goings-on, but most of the action (and volume of guests) will be found mingling out back.
GREEN areas are where guests will be staying overnight! Unfortunately, you'll be sleeping-bagging it up, since there's a limited amount of bedrooms in this house and they're all being occupied by Clair, Lance, the Elite Four, and guests who are regrettably way more important than you. However, this is where you'll be given space to leave your possessions, claim some sleeping room, and generally crash for the night once the festivities do you in. (Note: you're welcome to try to sleep elsewhere, but Clair might catch you and disapprove. You don't want that, do you?)
RED areas are unfortunately off-limits to guests! If asked about them, anyone will tell you that those are the rooms and areas that the Elite Four (and their special guests) have claimed for themselves, and they're sealed off tight. Please don't try to break into them anyway; you'll only be caught and punished.

AREA A is the designated Indoor Ballroom area, for the people who prefer the classy elegance of a formal red-carpet gala over the more whimsy outdoor garden party atmosphere in the back. There's a big skylight, hardwood floors, tasteful artwork, and classy music — a little more upscale than the shenanigans going on outside, for the people who'd rather that kind of thing.

AREA B will be the area of interest for anyone hoping to sneak a little Pokemon research on the side: this is the Library/Gallery area of the house. While most of it is your standard "tall shelves of ancient identical books" fare, there are a few points of interest — we've detailed them further right here. Guests are welcome to look around a little, but burying themselves in research the whole time will be highly frowned upon, and you'll be politely encouraged to leave the library alone and go rejoin the festivities if you hole up in there for too long.

AREA C is...well, the Parking Lot. More importantly, it's where you take your Pokemon battles if you simply gotta get your battle on; keep it out and away from the house, please, and try not to make too much of a mess. Skirmishes, sorties, and sparring will be tolerated here and here alone. Do it anywhere else and you'll be facing some very displeased hosts.

AREA D is the Elite Four's Trophy Room. Please be quiet and respectful if you come up here to have a look around; it's a solemn kind of place. Here you'll find various collections of badges, ribbons, awards, and trophies put on display, with one wall devoted to each member of the Elite Four. There are also pictures of the Elite Four members themselves, though it seems there's been a changeover since the last prom; the candids and Official Portraits™ depict different people entirely now (with the exception of Bruno) and there are a few photos of some sort of ceremony among the others. These photos include Lance being declared Champion of both regions by Professor Oak, while the rest of the Elite Four look on; Lorelai hugging Will and Karen immediately after their promotion to Elite Four; Agatha and Koga having an exhibition battle between her Gengar and his Crobat; all six of them piling into the frame for what amounts to a massive group selfie, etc.

bestofthebest: I Wasn't Alone - My Friends Helped Out (Thanks!)

Yeah; it'll be fun, Twi!

(She just 'hired' Twilight to be the ref for her match! against Naruto)

But you've seen how the Gym battles are officiated when we have matches, right? Same thing! And there's no way he'll think it's unfair 'cause you'll just introduce our 'Mons, however many we use and tell us when to begin and who wins each round.

(She knows Twilight will always be in her corner, even if she has to be 'impartial,' or whatever the word is.)
friendyousohard: (My hair static requires further study)

[personal profile] friendyousohard 2014-04-18 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose that's true, there's not really much I could be biased about...

[She sighs and winds up just following Rainbow.]

Do you know where he is?
bestofthebest: Has A Record For The Most Crashes (...I Meant To Do That)

[personal profile] bestofthebest 2014-04-18 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah...not unless one of the 'Mons I toss into battle with his is Daring; then you'd have to root for her 'cause you gave her to me for my first Hearth's Warming here in Johto.

(She laughs lightly, looking around for a few moments before blinking and lsughing sheepishly.)

Um...not really, but he shouldn't be too hard to find; I think he mostly wears orange. The only pony we know with that color's AJ.
friendyousohard: (That is NOT scientifically accurate.)

[personal profile] friendyousohard 2014-04-19 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
And AJ's in her green dress tonight, so that might make him the only one. Assuming he hasn't been forced into something he'd never usually wear for the evening.

... It's still really crowded and not exactly a small place to search though.
bestofthebest: Time To Kick Some Flank! (You Think You're The Best?)

[personal profile] bestofthebest 2014-04-19 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
...Yeah. Think we should wait until things quiet down before trying to find him?

(Actual rational thought from Rainbow? She still hasn't stopped yet, so there's still hope.)
friendyousohard: (My hair static requires further study)

[personal profile] friendyousohard 2014-04-21 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
We could do that. Or maybe split up and head for different places? I don't really know what he looks like but it sounds like he's pretty noticeable, so I should be able to pick him out. Where do you think he'd go?
bestofthebest: Fluttershy's The Exception - I Guess (Plays Pranks)

[personal profile] bestofthebest 2014-04-21 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
...Might find him somewhere outside, or he could be near the buffet tables.

(Aren't those places Rainbow would occasionally frequent on her off days?)
friendyousohard: (Braids 'n books)

[personal profile] friendyousohard 2014-04-24 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
So the exact same places I'd usually be looking for you. No wonder you two get along so well.
bestofthebest: No Way! (Surprised)

[personal profile] bestofthebest 2014-04-25 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
...Thanks, Twi. Glad to see you've noticed how much I have in common with Naruto.

(Technically Rainbow, you did see how much Twilight and Maka have in common.)
